This is the third patchset to fix the use-after-free problem in lockd,
and to convert lockd to use the kthread API instead of kernel_thread.
The main change from the last patchset is the elimination of the
svc_create_kthread helper function, and having lockd_up call kthread_run
directly. I've also made some changes to the function prototype for
the lockd function to eliminate the need for casting the function
pointer.
BTW kernel, NFS and lockd: SuSE kernel IIRC is distributed with patch
which adds kernel-based status monitor (statd).
Q to NFS people: any plans about merge this in main kernel tree ?
And another question related to NFS: any progress on add clear NFS
statistics in kernel (nfsstat -z) ?
